I certainly recognize all the bowl tie-ins, but would like to see a greater dimension for performance results as to major bowls.

Utah (good candidate for BCS placement), Boise State (also worthy of BCS consideration), Ball State, and BYU, are fine programs with great seasons. Of course each shall go bowling, but not all to the finest spots.

6-6 teams want that TV exposure, one last opportunity to finish with a winning record, and the extra practice time in preparation for the next season. But bowls were suppose to be a reward for great accomplishments and viewers to see quality games. That doesn't always happen, particularly in some of the lower tier bowls.

When 6-6 teams are picked/placed, teams such as Vanderbilt which hasn't gotten/earned a bowl bid in a long time, I appreciate seeing them having the opportunity. The traditional power-houses at 6-6, we dwell on what went wrong, assume they should have done better, and question the offers. Of course, each schools fans may see it different and looking for that upbeat finish.

There are a lot of bowls, but each each it appears somebody gets undeserving left out compared to some that did receive bowl bids. Wasn't Troy a recent victim of this?

with all these teams potentially moving up i could see a large number of bowl games coming back or new ones. the ones i like to see is the cherry bowl, garden state bowl at the new meadowlands stadium, aloha bowl and oahu bowl.

The San Diego Chargers are the third applicant for winning the NFL 2010. This Super Bowl team is bubbling with talent and going to be the glowing start amongst all other teams. This is the prediction made by me by looking over the past performances of Chargers.
